Prichard Partners. The withdrawal request was submitted prior to the seven-day deadline. Another
withdrawal request was submitted by the Sherrill family on August 2, 1999. This request was not
received within the seven-day period.
Attorney John Lewis said he represented the Prichard family (60 acres) and the Sherrill
family (26 acres). Lewis recommended that the rezoning be sent back to the planning board. He
said his clients were concerned about the 30,000 sq. ft. minimum lot size in the RU-R zoning
compared to the 20,000 in the RA designation.
rd Ha er asked if deed restrictions could be placed on the Prichard and Sherrill properties
if they were allowed to withdraw from the petition.
Allison said the 30,000 sq. foot restriction was in the RU-R designation. It could not be
reduced. It could, however, be increased - - 35,000 sq. ft. or 40,000 sq. ft.
Commissioner Johnson asked Eugene Hager, the individual that circulated the petition, if
he had problems allowing the withdrawal of the Sherrill family.
Mr. Hager said he had no problems allowing the Sherrill family to withdraw.
Chairman Haire adjourned the public hearing.

Commissioner Fortner mentioned the zoning ordinance's seven-day ruling regarding
changes to non -owner petitions. She said the Sherrill family's withdrawal request was not submitted
within the proper time frame.
Chairman Haire said that if the county allowed the Sherrill family to withdraw, a precedent
would be set, but the board members needed to take each case on its own merit.
